Hey everyone!

I wanted to hop on and introduce myself to this forum.

I found this thread yesterday when I was researching some launching and landing techniques for flying from a sailboat (might be doing that this summer). I found some great answers, read through other posts, then decided to join the community. You all have some great content available on here!

My first introduction to drones was during the summer of 2018 when I was helping out at a summer camp in East Texas. They bought a Mavic Pro, and I learned to fly that summer between college semesters.

A few years later I decided to make an investment and pick up a Mavic air 2s, and it’s the best!

After a month or two of ownership, I decided to become a licensed sUAS pilot so I could get my hobby to pay for itself.

I’ve been using it for real estate shoots and building inspections since I got licensed in 2023. However, my real bread and butter is to travel with my drone…. I quickly fell in love!

I’ve had an itch to fly something else, but don’t know what that is yet. Maybe I’ll look into FPV builds, I love working with my hands and building things (electric guitars is one example). I stopped riding BMX and motorcycle because of the risk/reward ratio not being worth it for now. FPV’s might be my answer to scratch those itches, we will see!

Anyway, I am looking forward to engaging with this community! I attached 3 of my photos from traveling that I hope you all enjoy.

Have fun and fly safe, friends!

Thanks! That first photo was one heck of an adventure. That’s a huge storm in the picture and it was coming right at us, but I had to get the shot. Sent it up, took the photo, then landed right before we got hit with it, haha!

Good thing I know of a nice place for rain protection thanks to this community…😂. I’ll be looking into those rain suits as a new accessory I think!
